| − | ==The Post Card==
| + | |
| − | The card is from a different manufacturer than the others. This one was
| + | |
| − | made by [http://www.paperchase.co.uk/ Paperchase], says under that "PRINTED IN THE UK". <br>

| − | Which translates to:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GLAD YOU FINALLY UNDERSTOOD MY MESSAGE.
| + | |
| − | DON'T FOLLOW UP A SMART MOVE WITH A STUPID ONE...
| + | |
| − | AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO HOME.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==The Book==
| + | |
| − | The book had no dog earred pages or markings of any kind.<br>
| + | |
| − | A Post-it note was stuck to page 120, between 120 and 121.<br>
| + | |
| − | ===Text of Post-it note:===
| + | |
| − | I know I messed
| + | |
| − | a lot of things
| + | |
| − | up. But cheer up,
| + | |
| − | because if my hunch
| + | |
| − | is right, it all might
| + | |
| − | make sense really
| + | |
| − | soon.

| − | xoxo

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Text of page 120:===
| + | |
| − | It's easy to be pleasant
| + | |
| − | When life flows by like a
| + | |
| − | song.
| + | |
| − | But the man worthwhile is
| + | |
| − | the one who can smile
| + | |
| − | When everything goes dead
| + | |
| − | wrong.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Text of page 121:===
| + | |
| − | May St. Patrick guard you
| + | |
| − | wherever
| + | |
| − | You go and guide you in
| + | |
| − | Whatever you do -
| + | |
| − | may his loving
| + | |
| − | Protection be a blessing to you
| + | |
| − | always.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==The SD Card==
| + | |
| − | Two files were on the card. Both were password protected RAR files.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===File #1===
| + | |
| − | [http://www.filelodge.com/files/room32/875912/373a3135 Download]<br>
| + | |
| − | File name: 373a3135<br>
| + | |
| − | Solution: Hexadecimal for "7:15" (The time [[OpAphid]]'s [[Home Alone]] video was posted.)<br>
| + | |
| − | File size: 46599 kb<br>
| + | |
| − | Password: "silver" (Color of ink on the oragami crane)<br>
| + | |
| − | Contents: There are 12 files within the folder. 11 of them are [[Gemma]] videos. They can viewed by adding ".mov" to the end of the filename:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1c = "[[Nut Kills Man]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 1f = "[[Living In London]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 4c = "[[It's Not Your Decision]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 6b = "[[They Disappeared...]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 6d = "[[Horrid Flatmates]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 6f = "[[Learning Egyptian]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 46 = "[[Don't Trust The Authorities]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 61 = "[[Someone's Following You]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 62 = "[[A Watcher]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 66 = "[[An Awkward Silence]]" <br>
| + | |
| − | 67 = "[[Scared To Go Home]]" <br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The twelfth file, named 69, is a text file which reads:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Xy Xy Xy Xy 20 XX XX Xy XX Xy XX XX XX 3f
| + | |
| − | -----------------------------------------
| + | |
| − | Yyyy Yyyyyyyy?
| + | |
| − | When it was all solved, it says, "Look Familaar?"<br>
| + | |
| − | This was written by diastres explaining the solution:
| + | |
| − | Take the following and count the number of occurances of each character.
| + | |
| − | 1c 1f 4c 6b 6d 6f 46 61 62 66 67 69
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | value | 1 2 4 6 7 9 b c d f
| + | |
| − | count | 3 1 2 10 1 1 1 2 1 2
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Possible XX combinations: 41 42 44 46 47 49 61 62 64 66 67 69 71 72 74 76 79 = ABDFGIabdfgiqrtvy
| + | |
| − | Possible Xy combinations: 4b 4c 4d 4f 6b 6c 6d 6f = KLMOklmo
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Xy Xy Xy Xy 20 XX XX Xy XX Xy XX XX XX 3f
| + | |
| − | -----------------------------------------
| + | |
| − | Yyyy Yyyyyyyy?
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | I think we could use the first way as a basis, to find the two upper case letters, the Xy 'L' and XX 'F'.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | L = 4c
| + | |
| − | F = 46
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Remove those from the counts.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |

| − | Possible XX combinations: 61 62 64 66 67 69 71 72 74 76 79 = abdfgiqrtvy
| + | |
| − | Possible Xy combinations: 6b 6c 6d 6f = klmo
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | L___ F_______?
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | We can only use combinations from Xy (klmo) for the first word. L needs to be followed by o. We really only found Look and Loom for likely words, and I'm not sure what kind of two word question starts with Loom. So we'll use Look.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Look F_______?
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | o = 6f x2
| + | |
| − | k = 6b
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Remove those from the counts.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | 1 2 6 7 9 b c d f
| + | |
| − | 3 1 6 1 1 0 1 1 0
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Possible XX combinations: 61 62 64 66 67 69 71 72 74 76 79 = abdfgiqrtvy
| + | |
| − | Possible Xy combinations: 6c 6d = lm
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Look F _ l/m _ l/m _ _ _?
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | F can only be followed by a or i since the third letter is l or m. Also note that the two Xy places CAN'T be the same because there's only one 'c' (l) left and one 'd' (m) left.

| − | This is where I broke out http://www.math.toronto.edu/jjchew/scrabble/lists/index.html because obviously I don't want to waste my time if there's no possible word to fit that combination.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Familiar was the only one left that could possibly fit when I used the 8-letter common dictionary. But we'll start with just what I gave above.
| + | |

| − | a = 61
| + | |
| − | m = 6d
| + | |
| − | l = 6c

| − | Possible XX combinations: 61 62 64 66 67 69 71 72 74 76 79 = abdfgiqrtvy
| + | |
| − | Possible Xy combinations: None, but that's fine since all of our Xys are covered.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | i = 69 x2
| + | |
| − | a = 61
| + | |
| − | r = 72
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Remove those from the counts.
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | 1 2 6 7 9
| + | |
| − | 1 0 0 0 -1
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | Huh, so obviously there was a mistake somewhere. But switch 69 to 61 and you get Familaar like in Tach's letter to Sphinx (see the archive). My assumption is there was a typo or mistake somewhere when it was being made.
